Terms of Use Restrictions

Manage Your Cost of Use

To manage your cost of use of the Google Maps Platform APIs, you can set daily limits to
all requests to any billable API.

To view or change daily billable limits for the Geocoding API, do the following:

Go to the Geocoding API Quotas page in the
Google Cloud Platform Console.

From the projects list, select a project.

In the Requests section, on the Requests per day line, click the
edit icon, then enter the preferred total billable daily quota, up to the limit
(if any) specified by Google.

Note: You can set daily billable limits only on billable APIs.
If your project doesn't use any billable APIs, then you can't set daily limits.

If your API usage reaches your billable limit on any given day, your application will not
be able to access the API for the remainder of that day.

WARNING: Setting a QPD override of zero on a quota bucket may result in
the API being disabled on the account. When this happens, API calls will return
an error (for example ApiNotActivatedMapError, or
REQUEST_DENIED: You need to enable this API). To fix this, set the
consumer override to "1". If you are unable to see or modify your QPD
override, take the following steps:

Revert the project to the previous billing configuration to see
corresponding bucket (billable or non-billable).

Premium Plan Customers

As of November 1, 2018, Premium Plan
customers can migrate to the Google Maps Platform pay-as-
you-go pricing model once their current Premium Plan contract expires. Only
contracts whose end date is November 1, 2018, or later, can
migrate to Google Maps Platform. Contracts expiring prior to November 1, 2018
must be renewed on the Premium Plan. For more
information, see the Maps Platform
Migration Guide.

Note: These limits apply to the Geocoding API service,
whether used for server-side geocoding or
client-side. Client-side and
server-side requests consume quota from the server-side equivalent API. If you are
geocoding data in response to user input on the web, or on a mobile device, consider
using
client side geocoding.

These limits are enforced to prevent abuse and/or repurposing of the
Geocoding API, and may be changed in the future without notice. Additionally,
we enforce a request rate limit to prevent abuse of the service. If you exceed
the per-day limit or otherwise abuse the service, the Geocoding API may stop
working for you temporarily. If you continue to exceed this limit, your access
to the Geocoding API may be blocked.
